"Daughter of the people...cough, this servant is paying homage to the marshal and the generals. This is the sweet soup of tremella and lotus seeds that has just been prepared by the kitchen..."

A graceful and swaying figure suddenly broke into the main room, and everyone present suddenly tensed up.

The originally cheerful and lively atmosphere suddenly turned cold, with Song Xi and other civil servants and generals showing displeasure.

However, the instigator did not notice it at all, and still searched for the target with a charming smile on his face. As soon as his greedy eyes saw the man on the throne, his whole body turned red and his heart beat like crazy.

Gu Qian couldn't help but pounced over, completely unaware of how weird and embarrassing her actions were.

All she could see in her heart and eyes was the man in front of her, and she wished she could give everything to him immediately!

This must be the legendary Marshal Song, right? He is really as handsome as a god!

As long as she becomes his woman, she, Gu Qian, can rule the roost in Pingliang and enjoy all the wealth! No one can despise her, trample on her, or even laugh at her for being an illegitimate daughter who has no place on the stage!

"boom--!"

Song Xi directly kicked the female assassin who was charging towards her and fell to the ground, her handsome face covered with anger.

"Catch her for interrogation! What's going on with the guards outside? Why did the assassin sneak in so easily?"

Everyone in the room frowned and began to look around, fearing that the assassin might have other helpers.

It was quiet outside the house for a while. After a while, Dao Hong came in with his soldiers with a pale face.

"Master, the guards outside the house have all been transferred away for various reasons. Some were given laxatives and couldn't leave the latrine, and some were deceived by the servants in the kitchen. This female assassin is really good at it. She was able to bribe the kitchen.

The two young men helped her to get the tiger out of the mountain."

After saying that, he had the woman on the ground tied up and prepared to be taken to a secret cell for interrogation.

"No! I'm not an assassin! I just love the Marshal and I have absolutely no intention of harming you!"

Gu Qian, who was in severe pain, quickly cried and begged for mercy, hoping that this stern nobleman would show mercy and let her go.

She obviously wanted to sacrifice herself to please her, so why did it turn into a situation where she wanted to capture an assassin?

It's so strange that men from the Central Plains can be indifferent to her beauty?!

Song Xi glanced at her indifferently, and then looked away with disgust.

"It's pointless to lie in front of me. You clearly look like a member of the Doer tribe! You still look a bit similar to the dead leader of the Guli tribe. What? Do you want to avenge your relatives?"

When Gu Qian heard this, her face immediately turned pale, her lips trembled and she was speechless with fear.

Why did he realize her identity? She obviously doesn’t look much like the patriarch Aweng!

If she hadn't been worried that the government would find out her true identity, she wouldn't have taken the risk and come here to die today.

She is just the illegitimate daughter of the eldest son of Gu Li. She has never been able to return to the family because of her dishonorable status. She has no feelings for the direct line of the Gu family at all. After escaping the execution of her entire family, she wanted to seek strong protection.

The patriarch's family had never treated her well, and they had to drag her to suffer even after she died. She hated it!

In fact, Song Xi originally just wanted to deceive her and test the origin or identity of the other party, but who knew that he could guess the truth so easily.

"Since she is of Guli's bloodline, let's send her to reunite with her family."

A clear male voice sounded coldly, and the ingratiator was sentenced to death on the spot.

Gu Qian was so frightened that she screamed and struggled, crying and began to tell her story.

How she had been bullied by the Duo'er tribe since she was a child, and how she had struggled to survive as a wanderer. Later, she heard about Marshal Song's heroic deeds and fell in love with her. She didn't want to do corvee service like the other tribesmen, so she decided to devote herself to seek favor.

This time, she was able to infiltrate the back cook of the company because she used the charm technique. The two young men had no choice but to obey her orders.

But she didn't have any ill intentions, she just wanted to be loved by the Marshal.

After Gu Qian finished speaking, she looked at Song Xi and begged him for mercy with tears in her eyes. She moved her eyes slightly and quietly used her charm to see if she could confuse this cruel nobleman.

Song Xi noticed the abnormality and immediately waved her sleeves to fight back. The strong internal force directly gave Gu Qian a splitting headache.

She leaned over and vomited out a mouthful of fresh blood, her eyes shed tears of blood uncontrollably, and all her charm was abolished!

"Take them to mass graves and execute them!"

"yes!"

Several guards dragged the seriously injured Gu Qian out, and peace finally returned to the house.

But no one was in the mood to have a dinner together, so they had to wait until dinner time to continue eating, drinking and chatting.

The two bribed young men were also imprisoned and were expected to go to the border town to serve as corvees with the three foreign races in two days.

The Chief Envoy and various government agencies have successively strengthened internal and external security, strictly prohibiting any unfamiliar faces from infiltrating the government, and purchasers must also undergo strict review to ensure that no suspicious forces penetrate into the government system.

Three days later, Song Xi led the army back to Qinxi.

The return trip this time was the same as the arrival. They left quietly in batches and in separate lanes, trying to avoid places with dense crowds and official roads, so as not to let any forces discover their route and destination.

Although Pingliang has become his territory, there are still hostile forces in Yunchuan and Longxi that border him.

This triangle area is the easiest place for spies to lurk, so he has never revealed his identity so far.

The people of Pingliang thought that he was in charge of the province, and they were completely unaware that the Lord God had secretly returned home.

However, what even Song Xi didn't know was that on the day he left Pingliang, two Longxi spies secretly sneaked out of the city.

They rushed towards the Longxi camp at high speed, with rare solemn expressions on their faces.

The clothes on his body were stained with a few spots of dried blood, which seemed to indicate that he had experienced unusual circumstances.

The two hid themselves away from official roads and checkpoints, fearing that the Pingliang generals would discover their true identities.

The results of this investigation were remarkable, and they finally got important news!

…

The Duke of Lu had already recaptured Xiliang Mansion in the autumn season.

When the good news came back to the court, Emperor Yuanfeng, who was delighted with his appearance, reluctantly agreed to send him food and grass.

The ability to recover the lost land this time was all due to Qin Xi's support. Duke Lu was thankful but also a little suspicious of that unfamiliar land.

He had vaguely heard some rumors, saying that Qinxi was developing very rapidly, and in time it would become the most prosperous place in the northwest, and might even be able to compete with the wealthy capital.

He had always scorned such exaggerated rumors, but after hearing too much, it was inevitable that he would become a little curious.

The impression of Qinxi should be almost the same as that of Longxi. Why did it suddenly change in just a few years?

Unfortunately, many people were sent to investigate but all failed. Even the secret guards of the Zhou family failed to bring back any valuable information.
